listen to a new song from milo

between the title of his forthcoming album and the stark nature of its artwork, it’s apparent that rory ferreira is hyper-aware of mortality in present-day america. but on “zen scientist,” the first single culled from so the flies don’t come, he seems confident and pragmatic in dealing with the situation. recording again as milo, ferreira raps plainly that “the soul is fly / i’m in my new zone / i have decided my point of view” with help from myka 9 over kenny segal’s downtrodden production; there are no frills, non-sequiturs are trimmed to a minimum, and milo’s analogies refer less to his pop-culture prowess and instead hone in on key figures he views as progenitors to his current mentality. so the flies don’t come arrives september 25th via ruby yacht. let your soul fly.
